1t is proper enough at this time to give
q few words relative to the cause of the
recent investigation into the manage.
ment of the insane hospital at Yankton.
The governor, in making his appoint
ments, placed three democrats and two
republicans on the board of trustees.
With the organization of the new board
came applications from Ysnkton demo.
Gratis for the positions of superintendent,
assistant superintendent and steward of
the hospital. Two of the democrats
Messrs. Brown and Lewis-were in favor
OF turning the republicans out. The
third democrat-Frank l.. Van Tassel-
refused to become q party to any such
partisan scheme. He had been on the
board two years and knew the superin-
tendent, assistant superintendent aud
steward to be men of the highest effici-
ency. Failing to move Mr., Van Tassel in
his purpose the democratic conspirators
placed with the governor q series OF
charges against the trustees and the
governor promptly responded with an
order for en- investigation, The public
examiner came to Yankton and went
through with a star chamber enquiry
from which all but the prosecution was
excluded. The newspapers 80 strongly
criticised this action that the commission
was cent back to Yankton under instruc.
tions to conduct an open examination.
This was done and the
result is a mass Of evidence
entirely different from that produced by
the first EXAMINATION. The trustees were
present at shis examination, but offered
no testimony ia rebuttal. There would
have been 40 investigation had Mr.. Van
Tassei consented to the removal OF the
republican officers OF the hospital and
she appointment of democrats.

Here are some comments from a demo-
cratic newspaper-the jamestown Capt.
tai:
There is already some interest mani
Tested by the republican leaders in the
subject of a candidate for delegate to
congress next year. The Cleveland
policy in retaining Sparks as lend com.
missioner and the Church policy of try
ing to build up q new party Of which he
Is to be head and front / the territory
will make q republican nomination to
that office equivalent to an election, so
far as the democratic party is con-
cerned. The strife, therefore,
in the republican party will be
in securing the nomination, and
in view of the fact the patriots OF that
party who aspire to sacrifice their per-
sonal feeling in order that they may
serve the dear people in congress are
engaged in the work in killing each
other off. The probabilities are
that the plains of Dakota
will be SO profusely ssrewn
with the slain in this patriotic cause that
the gathering of their bones for market
in the eastern fertilizer mills will be as
grest as has been the gathering OF the
bones OF the bison the pass few years
for a like purpose.

Come to the bridal chamber, Deathl
Come to the mother, when she feels
Fer the first time, her first born's breath,
And thou art terriblel
The untimely death which annually
carries off thousands OF human beings IN
the prime of youth, is indeed terrible.
The first approach of consumption is
ins!dious, and the sufferer himself is the
most unconscious of ITS approach. One
of the most alarming symptoms of this
dread disease is, in fact, the ineradicable
hope, which turks in the heart Of the
victim, preventing him from taking
steps to arrest the malady. That it can
be arrested in Its earlier stages ia hey ond
question, as there are hundreds of we'll
authenticated cases where DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has effected
a complete cure.

The least observing resident of our

Yankton and that a little more vigorous
work will bring contamination OF all
our hopes. Our business rivals are

head off approaching railroads and after
n more failure they will become
powerless for harm, Yankton needs
now to be actively aggressive. Every
citizen should make himself q committee

captain and a crew Of twenty-five men, were
lost. Five of the lifo-boat men were also

The body OF the captain, with two of his
men, all without preservers, iloated

of Bremen, about 50 years of aye, and was
well known in Baltimore, having made litty
